There is a lot of knowledge here about these programs so if you let us know what program you use, we can perhaps give some ideas to those who have questions about resizing and so forth.
The manuals are so difficult to wade through. Sometimes its easier to have someone show small parts of it that you'll actually use in a user friendly way.

The program that I have is part of the Microsoft XP Windows program, namely the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, and that brings you into (after uploading the images to your computer) Windows picture and Fax viewer. That is all that I really know about it. If I clik on "edit" it brings up the program "paint" ?
That's pretty much all I know---hope it is enough info to get started?---Al

Al, I dont think you can do too much with those programs aside from view and sort your images.
When you bought your camera, you may have got a yellow CD called Adobe Photoshop elements stuck in with it. It enables you to crop images, resize them and so forth. I thought this program was free as a sort of trial program. Ill look into that if you dont have that program and see if you can get it.

Hmm. I will have to look at the package again to see if there was anything I overlooked, however I do not recall, at this point, any software included with the Camera. I will look though, in the meantime I will look for the Adobe program, now that you have provided the name---Al

I have a couple of versions of Arc Soft Photo Impressions. Both of them came with digital cameras and I've been using version #3 ever since I bought my first camera. I recently bought myself Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 and have been slowly learning how to use it but keep going back to my old standby. There are actually on - line videos for Adobe that teach you step by step....I'm only on the 3rd one. In my laptop I have Picassa which can be downloaded free of charge (or at least it could when I got it)....it's really easy to use for 'quick fixes'. I also have a program that came with my sister in laws Canon digital camera - it does great photo album pages....and I have a Camedia program that came with my neighbour's digital camera because it has a great calendar program. I'm hoping Adobe will do all those things once I figure out how to use it.

Al, check on the CD that came with your camera. It may have a program, ArcSoft PhotoStudio that I think allows basic modifications to pictures. I also have an extra copy of PhotoShop elements too from another camera I bought. Be glad to give it to you!

I re-checked the box that the camera came in  , and lo and behold there it was on the bottom!--It is indeed Arcsoft Photostudio 5.5, I guess in my haste to get into the box and unwrap my own present, the disc was overlooked ;D, pays to read directions, huh?--I will now try it out on a few pics I have taken, posted--see about cropping, as well as magnifying, then save them all to a disc. Thanks for the suggestions, and the insistence that I check the full contents of the box!---Al--If I have any challenges as relates to the operation I will certainly post my requests here---again--thanks for the help, suggestions, Kathy, Gord |
